The House of Gucci director, who has spoken negatively about comic-book based films before as well, was asked by Deadline about his main gripe with the superhero genre.
you’ve got: person who wants to argue that all sci fi and fantasy are basically capeshit without capes
Asimov's Foundation series is about a guy that uses supercomputers, AI, and historical materialism to predict the future and create an organization with a plan to guide humanity through the collapse of empire ensuring something better came from its ashes. It's a not so subtle plea for people to embrace socialism because even in the 40s Asimov and other communists knew how things would play out if the US or another capitalist/imperialist power came out on top in the brewing conflict. I love scifi and fantasy both but I feel like there's a lot more comrades writing scifi and more fascists in the fantasy genre though there are obvious exceptions to both.
you’ve got: the deconstructionists who love watchmen and the boys
Oh yeah and watchmen and the boys are cool.
I like deconstructing capeshit and scifi and still love both.
